Etymology
The word 'reenlist' is derived from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'enlist', which comes from the Middle French 'enlistener', meaning 'to enroll'. The term 'enlist' itself first appeared in the 17th century and is rooted in the Latin word 'inlisitare', which means 'to bring on board' or 'to call upon'. 'Reenlist', as a specific military term, became more commonly used in the 20th century as modern warfare and military practices evolved, necessitating clear terminology for those who wished to continue their service after an initial commitment.
